For sale in Houston is a Bushnell 15x45 spotting scope. Comes with hardcase/softcase/tri pod. Real similar to the Bushnell Trophy shown on the link below, but does not have the Trophy word on the scope.

I want to get into long range precision shooting with a bolt action long gun, and need some advice/suggestions.

Right now, I'm leaning towards Rem 700, in .308. Mainly because of aftermarket support, plus I really like the Magpul Hunter stock, and I can pick those stock up very cheap on sale.

With that said, there are different versions of the Rem 700. Should I just get the low end (ADL version), since I'll be swapping out the stock/trigger/barrel down the road; or should I step up and get a more expensive version?

Or, is there other rifle makes that are better suited for the task? Ruger/Tikka/Sakko?

I thought of keeping this car for my kids when they grow up, but things have changed, and figured I'd post it up for sale to see if there are any interests.

The car is a 67 Pontiac Firebird 400. The original drivetrain was long gone, and replaced with a 5.3/4l60e combo from a 2002 Silverado. I did a frame off restoration on the car, with every nut/bolt either replaced or refinished. I replaced the quarters/trunk pan/repaired the ds door. The car has been updated with modern amenities including AC, stereo with subwoofer. New wirings, disc brakes front/rear, updated suspensions front/rear. Custom 3-piece 18" wheels I drove the car to Cruizin the Coast in MS in 2013, and did the Power Tour this past June.

WTS- a used Glock 26 Gen4 subcompact 9mm in Houston. Comes with everything that came with the gun originally, one 10 rnd mag with Pierce extension, plus 2-15 rnd mags for Glock19, and a Galco holster. I have another 10 rnd mag somewhere but can't find it at the moment, will include in the sale if I find it. Ammo in magazines are not included.

Just curious to see anyone carries an ar rifle/pistol in their vehicles as a back up? I read an article (actually the last article of a 4 part series) in a conceal/carry mag my buddy at work brought, and it suggested that having a loaded ar15 with extra mags is a good idea. What are your thoughts on that? In Texas, you can have a loaded long gun in the vehicle, within reach, correct?

I'm going to San Antonio (Helotes to be exact) this weekend, and wondering if you guys can recommend a decent gun range nearby. Hoping to convince the wife to go shooting while the in laws watch the kids.

Hi, newbie from Summerwood. We moved to Houston couple years ago from Portland, OR. Our interests include camping/outdoor stuff. I'm big into classic cars (have a 67 Firebird), and about a year ago started to get into firearms. Hope to see some of you guys at the range.
